Building a Bridge with Ethiopia: An Introduction to People to People

People to People (P2P) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care and reducing the spread of diseases in Ethiopia and amongst Ethiopian diaspora communities globally. P2P is a diaspora-driven organization, comprised of physicians, health specialists, other professionals, and non-diaspora “Friends of Ethiopia”. Founded in 1999, P2P is an international organization, with headquarters in the US and an office in Ethiopia that serves as a focal point for all global chapters of the organization, including those in Canada, Sweden, Finland, the UK, and more. Our mission is to build a bridge linking the diaspora with Ethiopian institutions for effective Human Resource Development, Health Care, and Education. The organization serves as an umbrella for other diaspora-based organizations as well. People to People is by design, an organization inspired by compassion, built with love, and sustained with kindness. Our core belief is to “give back” in order to save and improve lives in our homeland.
